Speaker Art. Bob Gross is an incredible designer, however he was lousy at marketing his speakers. The Super Clef competes with speakers costing multiples of the paultry $1300 he charged for them and his Proklain ll while not the most attractive speaker is one of the top two-way standmount speakers ever made regardless of price. It’s a shame that he is retired from the business.
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Let's give a shout-out to those very small speaker companies that make excellent products. I'm thinking of true one-man operations (owner-designer-maker) as well as very small ones (owner-designer + a very few employees).
My nominees: Ryan, Prana, Philharmonic, Fritz, Watkins, Vaughn, Chapman, even Daedalus, Salk, Selah.
Who else belongs in this list?
How do they manage to compete with the "big boys", in quality if not in quantity?
